Borough vs town statistics

The statistics given in this article are for the Borough of Blackpool, not the town.

I don't know what the boundaries of the town are but I understand the borough contains other settlements. Dgp4004 (talk) 16:51, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, so many sections are about the borough as opposed to the town that I would go so far as to suggest merging the borough and the town articles. Just as the Liverpool article is about both the city and the metropolitan borough.

Either that or an axe needs to be taken to this article to remove content which should really be on the borough page.Dgp4004 (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
